Plasma: The Importance of Plasma
It's a straw-colored, clear liquid that is 90 percent water, and it is an essential ingredient for human survival.
It might seem like plasma is less important than the blood cells it carries. But that would be like saying that the stream is less important than the fish that swims in it. You can't have one without the other.
Besides water, plasma also contains dissolved salts and minerals like calcium, sodium, magnesium, and potassium. Microbe-fighting antibodies travel to the battlefields of disease by hitching a ride in the plasma.
Without plasma, the life-giving blood cells would be left floundering without transportation. Never underestimate the importance of plasma.

In the nightcap, the Cougars only scored in two innings, but made the most of those innings by pushing across seven runs in the first and five runs in the sixth to institute the 10-run mercy rule with a 12-2 victory over McQueen.
After McQueen scored one run in the top of the first, when leadoff hitter Nick Agliolo went deep against SSHS pitcher Chase Hauder, Spanish Springs took the lead for good in its half of the inning.
Vinny Agliolo tied the game with an RBI single, and he came home on a Jake Haley RBI double. Hauder also knocked in a run with a single. Kory Glatther picked up an RBI by drawing a bases loaded walk. An RBI fielder's choice, passed ball and wild pitch forged the Cougars into a 7-1 lead.
Terrance Hammond cut the deficit to 7-2 with a run-scoring base hit in the top of the third, but the Lancers couldn't get any closer.
In the bottom of the sixth, Haley blasted a two-run home run. Glatther got another easy RBI when he was hit by a pitch with the bases juiced. Matt Mannens' two-run single ended the game.
Hauder recorded the pitching win by working four innings of six-hit ball. He gave up two runs, while walking one and striking out two.
Jeff McCusker pitched two innings of scoreless relief.
In the first game of the day, Spanish Springs pitchers Gehrig Parks and Agliolo combined on a one-hitter, shutting out North Valleys 6-0 to advance and set up the matchup with McQueen.
Parks went the first five innings to record the win. He allowed the only hit, while walking three and striking out seven. Agliolo struck out four and walked two over the final two frames.
"They're real aggressive offensively and they've got some guys who can really swing it," SSHS baseball coach Ben Hofmann said of the Panthers. "(Gehrig) was able to get ahead for the most part early. He had a good curveball today and a good change. With that in mind, good things happened."
The Cougars didn't get much offense off the Panthers, but timely hitting was all they needed.
In the bottom of the second, Agliolo led off with an infield hit. He went from first to third on a double just inside the right-field line by Hunter Pinto. Agliolo came home on an infield groundout by Hauder, breaking the scoreless tie.
Spanish Springs broke the game open with a three-run third inning.
Kenny Semenko drew a leadoff walk to initiate the rally.
A McCusker flyball was dropped in the outfield. However, Lucas Jones, who had been hit by a pitch, was thrown out at second base on the force out, leaving runners on the corners with two outs.
The Cougars took a 2-0 lead with a double steal.
Pinto drove in McCusker with a line drive to shallow right field, and two batters later, a Parks single up the middle knocked in Pinto for a 4-0 advantage.
Spanish Springs added two more runs in the bottom of the fifth on a throwing error to first base.
Spanish Springs will play again Wednesday night at Carson High. First pitch is scheduled for 7 p.m.

Serves three.
Quick-to-cook couscous cakes make this meatless main-course salad satisfying.
In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, sour cream, and mint. Slowly whisk in the olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Put the couscous and 1 tsp. salt in a medium bowl. Add 1 cup boiling water to the couscous, cover the bowl with a pan lid or plate, and let sit for 4 to 5 minutes.
Coarsely chop the garlic in a food processor. Add the parsley and pulse until finely chopped. Add the chickpeas and 1 tsp. salt and pulse until coarsely chopped.
Uncover the couscous and fluff with a fork. Stir in the chickpea mixture, eggs, and lemon zest until well combined. Press the couscous mixture into a 1/4-cup measure, smooth the top, and invert the measuring cup to release the cake onto a plate. Repeat with the remaining couscous mixture to make 9 cakes.
Heat 1-1/2 Tbs. of the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering hot. Add 5 of the couscous cakes to the skillet and use a spatula to lightly flatten the cakes so they're about 3/4 inch thick. Cook, flipping once, until crisp and golden brown on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Add the remaining 1-1/2 Tbs. vegetable oil to the skillet and cook the remaining cakes the same way.
In a large bowl, toss the spinach, artichokes, and tomatoes with about three-quarters of the dressing. Season to taste with salt and pepper and divide among 3 large plates. Top each salad with 3 couscous cakes, sprinkle each salad with feta, and drizzle with the remaining dressing.
Phyllo Chips with Vanilla Ice Cream & Strawberry Mash Dip makes the perfect dessert.

9/13/2012Very good. Light yet filling. Agree with other reviewers in regard to two issues. 1.) the dressing was a bit too tart for my liking. When making this the next time I reduced the amount of lemon juice. 2) the couscous cakes did seem "flat" when made according to the recipe. I have made these several times now and I now add a generous tablespoon of za'atar to the cake mixture before forming into shape and cooking.
by Auralyn,
6/19/2012An original idea for a salad that tasted very good. I did alter the seasoning of the cakes a tad, though, because I thought they tasted a little flat -I added a drizzle of honey, a drizzle of rice vinegar and a little olive oil, and I thought it helped round up the flavor. And the dressing was too sour for my liking so again, I added a little honey and a sprinkling of coriander. We did enjoy the results, and I thought the couscous cakes were very fun to make!
by TheCheeseFairy,
8/23/2011I haven't tried this yet but am wondering if we think the cous cous cakes could be made ahead and frozen to be cooked later. I work in a restaurant that offers trout cakes that we make in batches and freeze to be cooked later; we also try to have good veggie alternatives and I think if these would hold up they would be a great alternative. Any thoughts/experiences?
by nunitababi,
3/13/2011The dressing is a key part of this recipe. It was very good.
by SKFOTO,
7/24/2010Delicious! As suggested by previous reviewers, I used a bit less lemon juice and added a tsp of honey, greek yogurt, and sliced cucumbers. The dressing came out fantastic. Also--worked well with mixed greens. Thanks to all the reviewers for their suggestions.
by sk88,
6/26/2010Absolutely wonderful. We've made the couscous cakes again to serve with shrimp. They're a versatile (and delicious) recipe to have around.
by sgigirl,
6/21/2010I loved this recipe. I subbed greek yogurt for the sour cream and used goat cheese instead of feta.
by wishaponastar,
1/21/2010I loved this dish! My mint is hybernating so I used a pinch of ground ginger instead in the dressing, and I didn't find it sour at all. I left out the artichokes to save money, and didn't miss them. I was very stingy with the salt; next time I might add a small pinch of soysauce to the couscous cakes.
by trav45,
7/1/2009I made this for dinner last night. Lovely salad. I agree the dressing was a little sour, but I think I had more than the 2T of lemon juice. I also used quinoa instead of couscous. We loved the cakes, but next time I think I would add some of the feta (or blue cheese would be good, too) to the cakes as well, to kick up the flavor a notch. They were a tad bland. We'll definitely have this again.
by idahogourmet,
6/8/2009This was an excellent vegetarian meal. I would add some pine nuts and cucumber to the salad. The artichoke bottoms were a little tough - it might be good to poach them in broth before using in the salad - I don't remember using them straight out of the can in any recipes I have made before.
by NanaBell,
5/13/2009My husband & I loved this salad. It's fresh & flavorful. I did use whole wheat couscous, Egg Beaters for the egg and reduced fat Feta. Some slice & halved cucumber was a nice addition. Also I found the dressing a little bit sour, so I added a couple of teaspoons of honey. We don't use alot of dressing on my salad so it was very good with far less than the portion allowed.

217 N Broadway, Milwaukee, WI | Directions 5320243.033105 -87.907585
Neighborhoods: Juneau Town
Exceeded my expectations! – My friend Kate suggested that we eat at Swig (one of her favorites) and I was hesitant. I am a meat and potato type of gal, not into anything fancy. But, given I am adventuresome, I agree to go. Boy was I surprised! The decor is understated and stylish. Quiet elegance. And the food....wow! I am now addicted to the Tempura peapods! Yum!
The wait staff were super friendly, fast and attentive without being intrusive. The prices are just right and I personally love the Third Ward community so it was on point for me. I highly recommend.
Intimate – Very cozy and quiet. Old converted warehouse setting like most places in the Ward. Very decent prices.
Swiggin awesome!!!! – I work a block a way from Swig and my coworkers and I frequently visit for happy hour. We don't always eat when we visit, but when we do it's always amazing. For us however, the happy hour prices combined with attentive service and relaxed atmosphere make it our only destination in the neighborhood. After working down the street for over six years with limited options, we are thrilled to have this gem in our neighborhood.
mozzarella paninni sans mozzarella – Went for a late lunch, hostess was very nice, wait staff as well. All downhill from there. Both water cups had lipstick on them (not mine), and husbands sandwhich had a metal shaving on it. Not good at all. Mozzarella paninni had very little mozzarella, was soggy and overall presentation not good. Fruit cup lacking, wouldn't think that was possible. Fries cold, need I say more. Prices were good however, unfortunate that that caliber of food had to be paid for. Won't go again and would not recommend. Sorry Swig.
New Location in 3rd Ward even better fit – What a great move for Swig, my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the Water Street location and were stunned at how great the new spot is, WELL DONE.
CLOSED – Went there tonight and it is closed down. Place is now called Sullivans and was empty. Lots of good bars in the area though.
Great martinis! – One of the first of the many small plate dining lounges that have opened up in Milwaukee over the past year. Great place for a date!
Nice night out – Wife and I out for sweetest day. Swig took really good care of us, we were happy to have chosen it.
Diners Beware! – Although the Swig/Sauce/The Corner collections seems to light up City Search's-Best of Milwaukee something just isn't right. Anyone who has dined or sat for a drink at a Sorge establishment know's that these restaurant/bars are far from top of the line. At Swig not only is the food lack-luster and over-priced the atmosphere is uneasy. Uneasy mostly because of the lack of patrons but, also because of the pretentiousness displayed by the owners which trickles down to the staff. They'd have you believe you were dining among aristocrats! This should speak for itself, however the rave reviews that Swig, Sauce and The Corner recieve on City Search obviously constitutes voter fraud. Investigate for yourself if you like, but those positive reviewers seem to only frequent Sorge establishments while negative reviewers have a myriad of dining destinations on their profiles. Now I am not one to talk, as far as depth of reviews go, but test the waters if you like.
Purple Cow Remarkable – Here's a restaurant that strives to really stand out. The effort put forth to make their customers feel at home is quite remarkable. Like a Purple Cow would be remarkable. I would return to Swig based on food alone, but the casual and personalized service really puts Swig at the top of our list for Milwaukee restaurants.

LONG Building Technologies Uses Optimization Software to Achieve Savings
LITTLETON, Colo., Feb. 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- LONG Building Technologies, a member firm of the InsideIQ™ Building Automation Alliance, enabled a major financial and insurance company to reduce energy consumption at its regional office campus by more than one million kilowatt-hours. LONG upgraded the customer's building automation system (BAS) and installed LOBOS technology by Enerliance to add significant intelligence to the BAS. LONG, based in Littleton, is an active member of InsideIQ, an international alliance of independent building automation contractors who share leading edge technical knowledge and best practices.
The customer approached LONG to perform building intelligence upgrades related to the heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system that services their regional administrative headquarters, a three-building campus of more than 500,000 square feet, in Colorado Springs. The scope of the project included upgrading the variable frequency drives on several existing chillers, pumps and air handlers; replacing a number of chillers; and performing various other mechanical upgrades.
The team from LONG was fully immersed in performing the related building intelligence upgrades when they determined that the LOBOS intelligent HVAC optimization platform could add important value to the project. The LOBOS software helps large buildings use less energy, be more comfortable and automatically participate in demand response. LOBOS integrates with the building automation hardware to make it even smarter.
"LONG's adoption of a cutting-edge technology like LOBOS, and the subsequent delivery of more than one million kilowatt-hours of annual energy savings on a single project, is just one illustration of how Inside IQ members are setting the standard in building automation," said Frank Rotello, president of InsideIQ. "Implementing a new technology and employing it to generate major benefits for the client is an example of how InsideIQ members are constantly seeking out new ways to deliver savings, comfort and efficiency for our customers."
"Because LOBOS is a software platform that is installed on top of and is compatible with most modern HVAC building automation systems, joining the project at a later stage was no problem," said Todd Knapek, Enerliance director of product management.
The InsideIQ Building Automation Alliance is an organization of independent commercial building automation companies representing common automation and security system platforms. More information is available at www.insideiq.org.

You could blame it on wet balls, a slick field, nasty Texans or foggy thoughts, but ultimately the Bears didn't have the quarterback play they needed to beat an elite team Sunday.
Brandon Marshall has nicknamed Jay Cutler "The Closer" because of his strong finishes in games this season. But Cutler never had a chance to be "The Closer" on Sunday after suffering a concussion.
Jason Campbell did. He closed better than Cutler started, but that didn't say much.
The Bears offense was good for all of three points before Cutler's injury prevented him from playing in the second half. He threw two interceptions and had a 16.7 passer rating.
The prospect of being without Cutler for more than one half is more daunting than the loss to the Texans. The Bears probably have five games on their schedule — Packers, Vikings twice, Lions and the 49ers next week — that will be more significant than this one.
And those are games in which the Bears will need Cutler. The good news is some of Cutler's concussion symptoms already were subsiding in the second half, according to coach Lovie Smith.
Still, no one could say with certainty when Cutler will be back. He will have to pass tests and be cleared by an independent doctor. We all know concussions can linger like a Chicago winter.
Campbell was given $3.5 million for times like these.
"I'm so glad we have him in situations like this," Marshall said. "He made some amazing throws and we let him down. ... There's going to be no difference in our offense."
On Campbell's third drive, he set up a 24-yard field goal by Robbie Gould with a beautiful 45-yard pass to Marshall. Campbell changed the play at the line, according to Marshall.
But those were the only points Campbell generated. In the Bears' final three possessions, he led drives of 1 yard, minus-1 yard and 2 yards.
"It's tough when you were sitting on the sideline," said Campbell who had not worked with the first team since preseason. "It's not like we were playing against the 31st-ranked defense. It's a tremendous football team on that side. They were doing some good things taking away the deep ball. We tried to dump some of them off to try to keep us on schedule."
Cutler, meanwhile, had a chance to make this a statement game. He could have served notice the Bears were a complete team, not a team whose best offense was its defense.
It did not start well for Cutler. Have you read that sentence before?
And he was not given much help from his teammates.
The Bears' first two possessions ended with fumbles, the first by tight end Kellen Davis and the second by running back Michael Bush.
It was Cutler's turn on the Bears' third possession.
He led Davis with a deep pass over the middle, and Davis had a step on linebacker Bradie James. But James gave Davis a bump and Davis never got to the ball. Texans safety Danieal Manning, the former Bear, came up with the interception.
In the final minutes before the half, Cutler threw another one.
This time, he was duped by cornerback Kareem Jackson. Cutler thought he had Marshall one-on-one with cornerback Johnathan Joseph, but Jackson came off his man late in what was a zone defense disguised as man. Jackson cut in front of Marshall for the pick.

Recover: After
Introduction: Recovery Process Can Be Long Term
Recovering from any type of disaster includes making long-term adjustments and taking time to recuperate from the emotional and physical effects associated with traumatic events. All of us deal with stress on various levels each and every day, but major storm episodes compound these challenges with new demands on our time, our patience and our health. Disaster victims sometimes perform well during the initial shock phases, but lose their energy levels after prolonged stress.

Rachel McAdams
[While normally we tend to refer to people by their last name, as our subjects have the same one, we�'ll refer to them by their given names in this story.]
"Rachel�'s movie is set in 1949, so we wanted to do a classic look with a modern influence, that was in keeping with her dress," Kayleen said. "To accomplish this we did a simple eye, full brow, and a punchy lip." She started by smoothing a little of Giorgio Armani�'s Luminious Silk Foundation on Rachel's skin with a small, synthetic, Chanel concealer brush. "One of the things I love about the foundation is that they never have a pinky tone," Kayleen said. Next she applied a little Clea de Peu concealer under Rachel�'s eyes, using the same Chanel Brush. �"Rachel has amazing skin, so I didn�'t need to use any powder, however, for most people I would have done a light dusting of Laura Mercier�'s Loose Setting Powder,�" Kayleen said.
For Rachel�'s lightly defined eye, Kayleen first curled her eyelashes with Shu Uemura�'s lash curler. She then used the gray and brown shadows in Kevyn Aucoin�'s The Essential Eye Shadow Set in the crease and the gray shadow on the outer corner of Rachel�'s eyes. Then, Kayleen lined Rachel�'s upper lash line with a Chanel black cake eyeliner, to make her lashes look thicker. She then applied Chanel�'s newest mascara, Inimtiable, in black, and added few individual false eyelashes.
Kayleen filled in Rachel�'s brows with a taupe Chanel pencil. Using the spooly brush on the end of the pencil, she brushed the color through to remove any extra color. She prefers to fill the outer corners of the brow, using a lighter hand the closer she gets to the inner part of the eye. �"I find that if you use too much pencil on the inner part of the brow, it can make you look older,�" she said.
To get a soft, lush cheek, Kayleen used MAC Pro�'s Colour Cream Base in Rich Coral. She tapped it on Rachel�'s cheeks with her finger and then blended with MAC�'s Duo Fibre Brush. �"The brush is great for blending blush or foundation, the bristles deposit the colors into the pores for a super natural look,�" Kayleen said.
Kayleen blended two lipsticks for the perfect color. �"One thing that�'s nice about being your sister�'s makeup artist is I knew what her dress looked like a few days before, so I could really scour every makeup counter for the right shade,�" she said. The lipsticks of choice were NARS Heat Wave (an orange red) and Jungle Red (a true red). Kayleen had Rachel pucker her mouth and then applied the lipsticks with her finger, concentrating on the center of the mouth. �"I wanted it to be more like a stain than a heavy lip,�" Kayleen said. �"I love all of my clients, but it�'s always really fun working with Rachel because she can reference a look from five years ago and I know exactly what she�'s talking about. And, doing her makeup is kind of like doing my own face!�"

Eating Out: Bayou Smokehouse & Grill provides Cajun, barbecue favorites
On a recent weekend stay at Beech Mountain, N.C., I got the chance to enjoy some of the restaurants in the nearby towns of Banner Elk and Boone. One of the fun surprises I discovered was the Bayou Smokehouse & Grill in downtown Banner Elk.
I visited with a few friends on a Saturday evening. We were greeted and promptly escorted to one of the tables on the restaurant's outdoor deck. Dining al fresco on the restaurant's large outdoor deck offered a casual, slow-paced and relaxing experience. The deck faces a landscaped courtyard that offers a chance for young or young-at-heart patrons to play the popular bean bag toss game "corn hole." In addition, child-and-canine-friendly four-legged family members are welcome on the deck and in the courtyard so long as they are leashed, according to the Bayou's website.
The deck itself offers both a roofed and uncovered section, and my dinner party enjoyed a table in the open section with a perfect view of the late August sky. The umbrella-covered patio tables and chairs are made of a black metal mesh. The shade trees in the courtyard helped ensure a pleasant temperature throughout the meal. Some televisions are also located at different positions on the deck.
The Bayou is owned and operated by David Ammann and his wife, Winston. According to the restaurant's website, Ammann was born in Texas and spent his childhood in Louisiana along the bayous between New Orleans and Houma. So, he comes by his interest in barbecue and Cajun cuisine quite naturally.
Our personable server, Walt, delivered menus and took our beverage orders. As we looked through the menus, we also enjoyed the bowl of complimentary peanuts in the shell. We decided to start the meal with an appetizer, and our choices ranged from Texas Nachos and Boneless Wings to Chili Cheese Fries and Fried Green Tomatoes with Cream Gravy. Some other tempting appetizer selections included a Jalapeno Queso with House-made Tortilla Chips, Southwest Eggrolls and Fried Dill Pickles. We came to a consensus and ordered a platter of Fried Crawfish Tails with Remoulade Sauce as our shared appetizer.
The ample helping of the crawfish, which was lightly breaded in a cornmeal batter, came served on a bed of lettuce. A dip in the accompanying remoulade sauce gave these mild, sweet and tasty crawfish tails a zesty edge.
After my dining party finished off the crawfish, we turned back to the menu to decide on main courses. Offerings are categorized under the headers "Bayou House Specialties," "From the Heart of Texas" and "From the Soul of Acadiana." The menu also offers a selections of burgers, po' boys and sandwiches as well as seafood platters and dinner salads.
Among the entrees that grabbed my attention were Pecan-encrusted Trout, Bayou Smokehouse Ribs, Chicken-fried Chicken and the Fried Catfish Platter. I found myself leaning more toward the Cajun entrees rather than the barbecue favorites, so I ordered the Bayou Cajun Sampler, which offers four Louisiana favorites — Shrimp Creole, Red Beans and Rice with Smoked Sausage, Crawfish Etouffee and a cup of Spicy Shrimp Gumbo.
My dining companions chose the Texas-style Smoked Brisket, Voodoo Pasta and the Shrimp and Grits, which was one of the evening specials. My sampler offered the chance to substitute a side salad for the gumbo, but I wanted to sample this bayou favorite. My friend who chose the Smoked Brisket got to choose two sides — in his case, the Mashed Potatoes with Cream Gravy and Dixie Cole Slaw.
My friend with the Voodoo Pasta enjoyed this spicy dish, although he did caution that those with a low tolerance for heat might want to try another dish. I got to sample a bite and I thought this hearty dish of shrimp, blackened chicken, smoked sausage and penne pasta tasted quite flavorful.
Of the items on my sampler platter, the Shrimp Creole and the Spicy Shrimp Gumbo were my favorites. The gumbo, true to its billing, boasted a peppery zestiness. I could have eaten an entire bowl of this Cajun roux-based stew of shrimp, sausage and okra served over rice. I also liked the mild but flavorful Shrimp Creole, which consisted of plump Gulf shrimp and celery in a tomato-based sauce served over rice.
The Crawfish Etouffee featured crawfish meat blended with a zesty brown roux sauce and served over rice. Last, but not least, the Red Beans and Rice — probably the mildest of the dishes on the sampler — consisted of sausage (smoked in-house at Bayou) cooked with a hearty mix of red beans and rice.
The Shrimp and Grits pleased my friend, who liked the way the shrimp was served along side the cheesy grits rather than atop a bed of grits. He also ordered Fried Green Tomatoes along with his side order of green beans, both of which were nicely seasoned.
We decided to try a dessert, which consisted of three choices — Blackberry Cobbler, Mama Nita's Bread Pudding and a Brownie Sundae — during our visit. In the same communal spirit of our shared appetizer, we agreed to all try a sample of Mama Nita's Bread Pudding. This scrumptious and comforting dessert consisted of a cinnamon roll-like pastry baked in an egg-custard batter with bourbon-soaked raisins, pecans, cinnamon and other spices, all drizzled with a decadent, creamy bourbon/brandy sauce.
The outdoor dining deck remains open as long as temperatures permit. With the upcoming fall color season, the restaurant has plenty of hearty favorites that would make a perfect meal once that autumn nip in the air arrives.
Of course, the prime season for these towns takes place during the winter with the return of snow and skiing. Diners visiting during the winter can get cozy around one of the two fireplaces in the indoor dining room and watch sporting events on the wall-mounted televisions. The casual interior of the restaurant offers pool tables and video games. Seating is available at booths and a few bistro-style tables arranged around a large bar.
According to the restaurant's website, Bayou offers some other amenities to make a visit a memorable experience. For instance, patrons can play National Buzztime Trivia for free. Simply ask a server or bartender for a gamepad.
On Saturdays and Sundays, the Bayou offers a brunch menu in addition to the regular menu until 2 p.m. There's also "Aunt Lottie's Make-your-own Bloody Mary Bar" every Sunday from open until close.
In addition, there's a Bayou General Store located adjacent to the restaurant. Once you have finished your meal, be sure to browse through this interesting store with plenty of unique items, including a variety of condiments and sauces.
There's also a children's menu offering such fare as chicken tenders, shrimp, hot dogs, hamburgers, cheeseburgers and beef barbecue sandwiches.
Downtown Banner Elk in North Carolina is less than 45 minutes from Elizabethton. Enjoy a late summer or fall visit or remember the restaurant for the next ski trip you make to the slopes at nearby resorts. If you go, let them know they came recommended.
AT A GLANCE: Bayou Smokehouse & Grill, 130 E. Main St., Center of the Village Shops, Downtown Banner Elk, N.C. (828) 898-8952. Sunday- Thursday, 11:30 a.m.-10:30 p.m. and Friday-Saturday, 11:30 a.m.-11:30 p.m. Dinner entrees range from $6.95- $19.95. Credit cards accepted. Carryout available.

Movies can have a tremendous impact on society, if they're skillfully made.
"Triumph of the Will" was a stunning documentary that helped Adolf Hitler consolidate power. "An Inconvenient Truth," a documentary about former Vice President Al Gore's environmental crusades, mobilized a wide and still growing range of anti-pollution efforts.
Even fictional films, such as "The China Syndrome," helped change history. It was released just 12 days before the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant had an almost identical, but much worse, accident in 1979. Since then, America's nuclear energy program has been almost completely stalled, although TMI itself surely had more to do with that than the movie.
At one point in that movie, however, a fictional scientist says a meltdown caused by a reactor cooling system's failure could make "an area the size of Pennsylvania" uninhabitable. Is that spooky or what?
» The latest on traffic, delays and road construction delivered to your mobile phone. Click to sign up to receive text alerts!
Some of my favorite movies have been set in Pennsylvania — "The Philadelphia Story," "Witness," "Best in Show" — so I was eager to see "Promised Land," which is about a real-life disaster that will harm this state far more than TMI ever did.
Also, I have been a Matt Damon fan since "Good Will Hunting" proved that a movie about intelligence can be successful, despite the ever-growing flood of brainless tripe featuring Steven Seagal, Adam Sandler and others who cater to adolescent imbeciles.
The first movie I saw about Pennsylvania's hydraulic fracturing (popularly known as fracking) disaster was "Gasland."
That 2010 anti-gas-drilling documentary was so bad it probably helped the Texas gas robber barons in their quest to get richer by polluting this state with the blessings of our politicians, bought and paid for with so-called "campaign contributions."
As I said in a column last year, most of "Gasland" is "shaky out-of-focus garbage" with almost no documentation to support its points, and "if I were a gas industry robber baron, and this film did not exist, I'd pay someone to make it so I could say, 'See? Here is the rot offered by boobs who oppose us and the fabulous jobs we're creating.'"
Now we have Damon, who played a math whiz in "Good Will Hunting," starring in "Promised Land," a fictionalized account of the not-so-fictional evil schemes of the robber barons. It also stars Frances McDormand, another of my favorites, you betcha.
My wife and I headed for Allentown's Carmike 16 theater mall after "Promised" opened a few days ago. After interminable commercials, Damon and McDormand finally showed up on the screen.
Damon plays a "land man," a charming gas company employee who goes to the town of "McKinley" to sucker property owners into signing away drilling rights.
The movie does not say that McKinley is in Pennsylvania, but the cars in the town have Pennsylvania license plates and the movie was filmed in an area I know, just east of the western Pennsylvania town of Hyde Park, where my grandfather worked in a steel plant before he moved to Buffalo.
The gas-drilling industry is portrayed (accurately in my view) as unscrupulous, but the plot does not deal very much with fundamental issues, such as the damage fracking is doing to Pennsylvania or the methods the Texas robber barons use to get their way in Harrisburg.
Instead, the plot boils down to a cute trick used by a gas company to get what it wants from the town, and revealed only at the oh-so-Hollywood ending. (I won't give it away, in case you want to see the movie.)
The true story of what is happening in Pennsylvania is much more dramatic.
We have gas drillers forcing millions of gallons of toxic glop deep underground, and much of it spurts back to the surface or can leak into shallow levels, where groundwater resides, if well casings are not perfect. This fluid is potent enough to break up shale formations so they release gas, so what it does to the water of Pennsylvania is not especially pleasant to contemplate.
It might not be so bad if the state strictly regulated the industry, or made it pay taxes on the millions of dollars worth of gas extracted from each well, and there are thousands of wells in the state. But that is not the case. Among recipients of "campaign contribution" generosity is Gov. Tom Corbett, who has had at least $1 million plopped into his coffers by gas-drilling interests. (In "Promised Land," the biggest payment to a politician is a paltry $30,000.)
We even have the head of our ridiculously named state Department of Environmental Protection attacking the federal Environmental Protection Agency for taking the side of the environment when there was evidence of fracking pollution.
We get hit by salvos of misinformation, such as claims that gas is cleaner than other fuels. Indeed, it burns cleaner, but scientists say gas drilling causes far more pollution than the burning of oil or coal.
So I think Pennsylvania's real-life scandals would make a better plot than a cute trick by a gas company.
"Promised Land" is not a bad movie, certainly not as bad as "Gasland."
It is a mediocre movie, when what we need is a masterpiece to counteract the power of the Texas robber barons, who are doing today what the robber barons of yore did to this state with coal mining.

This legislation creates an internet open to censorship, insecure and wildly divergent from the internet we know and use every day, which drives global commerce, and which, in the end, powers America's net job growth. – Make the Call , Stop the Wall
"In 2012, I will only support candidates who stand for Internet freedom and who oppose the PROTECT IP Act and SOPA. I will work against any candidate, of any party, who votes to censor and stifle the Internet." -Vote for the Net
Two bills before Congress, known as the Protect IP Act (PIPA) in the Senate and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the House, would censor the Web and impose harmful regulations on American business. Millions of Internet users and entrepreneurs already oppose SOPA and PIPA. – Google
Dear Friend,
I want to make it as easy as possible for you to contact your legislators if you, like me, do not support PIPA/SOPA. If you're not familiar with either, you can read this and this. If you already know your stuff, then you probably know voting begins January 24–so this message is both timely and urgent. I'm asking my friends, family, co-workers, neighbors and peers to take five minutes and make your voice be heard. Use any of the resources below to quickly make a big difference. When you're done, you can share your support online with: Stop SOPA and PIPA (or make this your status update — just copy and paste – ███ ███████ ████ ██ ████ ███ ███ █████ ██ ██████. #BlackoutSOPA)
You can reach out to your legislators few ways:
- Call directly from this site (they'll even find your legislators' contact information for you): Stop the Wall
- Sign this online petition
- Print out or save this PDF
- Take action via Google
- If you're outside the United States, petition the State Department
- Use the information directly below to call, email and/or tweet your legislators
I want to help but don't know what to say
That's cool. I get nervous too. Here are a few scripts you're welcome to revise, edit or whatever and use:
- I do not agree with the proposed PIPA/SOPA legislation. You can be sure that if it is passed, or you support it, that I will not vote to re-elect you to office. Too much is at stake – please vote NO on PIPA and SOPA.
- The most effective way to shut down pirate websites is through targeted legislation that cuts off their funding. There's no need to make American social networks, blogs and search engines censor the Internet or undermine the existing laws that have enabled the Web to thrive, creating millions of U.S. jobs. Too much is at stake – please vote NO on PIPA and SOPA. (h/t Google)
- The censorship regulations written into these bills won't shut down pirate sites. These sites will just change their addresses and continue their criminal activities, while law-abiding companies will suffer high penalties for breaches they can't possibly control. Therefore, it makes no sense to pass PIPA and SOPA. Please vote NO on PIPA and SOPA. (h/t Google)
- PIPA will put an undue burden on site managers, app developers and internet entrepreneurs. Please vote NO on PIPA and SOPA. (h/t Stop the Wall)
Thank you internet friends,
P.S. I'm sending a link to this post to both of my Senators, so if you agree with me leave a comment or share this via the social buttons to show that we mean business.

The Cool Kidz focus on Gummi Sombreros also known as Mexican HatsFriday, April 16th, 2010 by Jon
Sombreros are strong flavored gummy candies, which come in a variety of flavors ranging from red to purple. The red flavored gummies are strong cinnamon, which are delicious. The orange was a little bit weaker, and flavored orange.
The yellow is more difficult to classify, but is minty and strong much like the green. The green is spearmint, and our personal favorite. Lastly, the purple tasted similar to the green and yellow.
Each flavor, while unique, has a common minty essence making them an atypical gummy candy. They are definitely a hit or miss candy, as it is difficult to have mixed feelings about them. Give them a try and tell us what you think!
"Don't think twice it's alright" – Bob Dylan; Don't twice it's alright
Peace & Love,
The Cool Kidz

Wear this set for the perfect, sparkling finishing touch. Crafted from your choice of 14K white or yellow gold, the set features a pendant and a pair of stud earrings. The pendant shines with a round brilliant cut 5mm Moissanite, while the earrings each feature a round brilliant cut 5mm Moissanite stone. All stones are in prong settings.
The total diamond equivalent weight is approximately 1.23ct. The earrings measure 3/16"L x 3/16"W and feature butterfly backs. Measuring 5/16"L x 3/16"W, the pendant features a split bail and includes an 18" link chain that secures with a lobster clasp.
The set may be cleaned using any fine jewelry cleaner. It also may be cleaned in an ultra sonic cleaner, as long as the setting is appropriate in the ultra sonic cleaner.
From the Forever Brilliant® Moissanite Collection.
All weights pertaining to diamond weights are minimum weights. Additionally, please note that many gemstones are treated to enhance their beauty. Click here for important information about gemstone enhancements and special care requirements.
Earring Back Types
Butterfly Back: A double looped piece resembling a butterfly that fits over a post. Variations on this design are called push back clasps. The basic post and butterfly back are usually used for stud earrings and lighter weight drop earrings.
Hinged Snap Backs: This clasp features a hinged post that snaps into a groove on the back of the earring. It is commonly found on hoops. Sometimes the hinged post is curved to provide more room to fit around the ear, sometimes called a saddleback.
Hook Backs: This earring backing is simply a long, bent post that fits through the piercing. Hooks have several variations, most notably the shepherd's hook and the French hook. While thin wire hooks reduce the weight of long earrings, making them more comfortable, they aren't as secure as other clasp styles.
Lever Back: A hinged lever snaps shut against the curved post to form a closed loop around the ear lobe. This clasp is very secure and good for large or medium sized styles that drop just below the ear.
Omega: Also called French clips, this clasp has a straight post and a looped lever. The hinged lever closes around the post and is held against the ear with pressure. The omega clasp is the most secure clasp, especially for the larger, heavier earrings.
Screw back: This backing is a slight variation of the standard post and butterfly nut back. Instead of pushing on the back, the nut twists onto the threaded post. A screw back post design is often preferred for expensive diamond stud earrings that require increased security.
Moissanite has very high dispersion and displays 2.4 times more fire than diamond (0.044). Its inherent high refractive index gives Moissanite a dazzling sparkle, while its precisely calibrated and carefully hand-cut facet patterns intensify fire and maximize brilliance.
Moissanite is extremely durable. It is harder (more resistant to scratching) than ruby or sapphire – second only to diamond – and it is resistant to breakage.
Larger sizes of near-colorless Moissanite (6.5mm or 1 carat and larger) might appear to have a slight color. A variety of factors, such as dispersion, tint and the type of jewelry setting, can create and affect this unique color appearance. Moissanite aficionados enjoy the slight hue that results in a very natural-looking gemstone.
Moissanite's high dispersion produces flashes of rich rainbow (spectral) colors. The appearance and degree of these tints are less noticeable when Moissanite is set in jewelry. Jewelry set in gold (yellow, rose or white) and/or set in platinum will affect the face-up appearance of Moissanite.
Nobel Prize-winning chemist Dr. Henri Moissan discovered minute quantities of natural silicon carbide (later named Moissanite in his honor) while analyzing part of Arizona's Diablo Canyon meteorite crater in 1893. Upon close inspection, he noticed the tiny crystals shimmered with brilliance and dispersion, although they were too limited in quantity and not large enough to use in jewelry.
Almost 100 years after Dr. Moissan's amazing discovery, Charles & Colvard, with the aid of science, developed a way to create Moissanite. Appreciated for its overwhelming brilliance, Moissanite continues to take the jewelry world by storm.
Brilliance: The white light leaving a jewel, traveling upward, which is visible to the eye. Brilliance is sometimes referred to as "sparkle."
Dispersion: Flashes of rainbow colors. Also called "fire."
Hardness: Resistance to scratching. The higher the number, the more resistant.
Luster: The shininess of a jewel.
Toughness: Resistance to breakage.

The Top ETFs Over Three Years Represent an Eclectic Group
by Charles Rotblut, CFA
The best-performing exchange-traded funds (ETFs) of the past three years would comprise an eclectic mix if combined into a single portfolio. Precious metals, retailers, health care companies and a mid-cap growth index would all be represented.
I compiled the list as an experiment to see what a long-term, top-performing ETF portfolio would look like. Each March, we publish a list of the mutual funds with the best five-year performance (see "The Top Funds Over Five Years: Gold, Emerging Markets & Diversification Lead" in the March 2011 AAII Journal). Given the growth in ETFs, I thought there would be interest in a similar list involving exchange-traded funds.
Keep in mind that this is not a direct comparison. Most ETFs have not been around for five full years, requiring the use of three-year performance results instead. There is also the issue of active versus passive management. Many mutual funds have managers who not only select the investments to hold, but also determine when to buy and sell those investments. Most ETFs, conversely, are designed to track an index, therefore eliminating the performance advantage attributable to a good fund manager.

It all began in 1991. The Chicago Bulls entered the NBA Playoffs as the number one seed in the East, destined to have a meeting with the hated Detroit Pistons. MJ and the Bulls showed no mercy as they swept them in the Eastern Conference Finals en route to their first NBA Finals appearance. Then it was on to Hollywood.
Magic vs. Michael for all of the marbles marked a changing of the guard and a dynasty was born. After taking the series in 5, Michael, Scottie, Horace, John and Bill would capture two more rings to make the 3-peat complete.

An early view of a custom logotype's construction grid we have been working on.
Nikita Lebedev
A for A
Joe Prince
The 'S' feels a little out of place. All the other letters have very nice, geometric proportions, but the the top bowl of the 'S' is much too small compared to the bottom bowl. It also feels like it's leaning towards the left. The 'K' seems a little narrow when compared to the rest of the letters. Just my two cents :)
Not sure if kerning letters using the grid works well here. For example A stands to close to T, same as O can be moved a bit to the right. Generaly I think kerning should be made opticaly not mathimaticaly. Nevertheless big fan of your works, always inspires me!
Helvetic Brands
Thanks guys.
Appreciate it @Nikita Lebedev !
@Joe Prince spot on comments and we feel very similar on a lot of points, thank you for your input. The "s" is very much a placeholder and was free drawn in comparison to the other more mathematically considered letters.
@Tim Totally agree with that point however as mentioned this is only done for the construction and kerning is a very different, optical, approach. A start of this can be seen in small at the very bottom which breaks the grid to test it out.
Thanks again everyone for taking the time share on this early posting.

Keep an eye open for the first meteor shower of the year in the hours before dawn Friday.
The Quadrantids meteor shower should be quite a show, with 60 - 200 meteors per hour, according to Space.com.
The National Weather Service is forecasting clear skies (and temperatures in the high 20s), but a bright, waning gibbous moon may steal the show.
Meteor showers are named after the constellations from which they seem to radiate - we had the Persieds, the Orionids, the Tuarids, the Leonids, all fairly straight forward.
So where in the sky do the Quadrantids come from?
Quadrans Muralis, of course
If you're scratching your head, it's OK. Quadrans Muralis is an obsolete constellation.
The meteor shower was named in the 19th century, according to National Geographic, when Quadrans Muralis was still on star charts. The constellation was absorbed into nearby Boötes, the Herdsman in 1922.
But the meteor shower - remnants of a comet that broke apart several centuries ago, according to NASA - persists.
The meteors will be visible all over the sky, but if you can trace one back to where it seemed to originate from, and you wind up in the vicinity of where Hercules, Boötes, and Draco all meet, near the handle of the Big Dipper - you've probably seen one of the Quadrantids.
